Product development at
Siemens is virtually a continuous
process. New products are
being developed and existing
products are being improved
by Siemens to meet diverse
Today’s complex commercial buildings and increasingly sophisticated manufacturing plants have one thing in common – they depend on motor control centers
to keep them operating at peak efficiency. The motor control centers that drive
these operations must be reliable, flexible and technologically excellent if they
are to meet the stringent tests required.
The Siemens 8PX3 motor control center meets these demands with leading edge
technology. It encompasses the best protective package available in the electrical
industry today and its new features respond to the needs of the most demanding
applications.
Siemens 8PX3 Motor Control Centers feature:
• Draw-out units that are completely compatible with all previous 8PX offerings
• Global product availability and support
for SIRIUS products
• SIRIUS contactors both NEMA and
horsepower rated
industry challenges and
• SIRIUS 3RB electronic overload relays
offering extremely accurate motor
protection
increasing customer demands.
• SIRIUS 3RU thermal overload relays,
built with single-phase protection as
a standard
• Unit operating handles manufactured
with a built-in safety interlock preventing
the units from being removed or installed
with the disconnect device in the ON
position
• Metal pilot devices, type 3SB3, standard
in the 8PX3 MCC
• Precisely designed stab-in devices, assuring
proper alignment and extended life
• Spacious wireways, providing room for a
large number of control and power circuits
• Horizontal main bus ratings up to 3000 A
• Heavy duty visible blade switches that
have positive action movement
• 100 kA combination starter interrupting
ratings
• Siemens 8WA quality terminal blocks
with insulated terminals
Draw-Out Units
The operating unit handles up to 6 SIRIUS 3SB3 pilot devices and
the reset button is mounted directly on the draw-out unit facilitating
wiring and maintenance.
The draw-out units are precisely designed assuring a very smooth
sliding motion on the buffer plate and provide proper alignment
of stab and grounding of the draw-out unit prior to engaging
the vertical bus bar.
These features, along with a positive locking of the unit in the
engaged position, guarantee one of the highest safety standards
in the industry.
All starter units up to and including EEMAC size 4 are draw-out type
complete with a full complement of either breaker combination or
switch type disconnecting devices.
High quality current-carrying components within the starter unit
are world-renowned. Our 10-million-operations SIRIUS contactors,
together with the close-coupled ambient-compensated overload
relays, offer maximum motor protection from slight overloads to
damaging single-phasing conditions.
Space saving components, along with the high contrast pilot device
panel that pivots out of the way, allow ample work space within
each unit for ease of wiring and mounting of auxiliary equipment.
Structure
The structural framework is fully CSA approved and its steel members give the
structure an incomparable rigidity that makes the use of channel sills unnecessary.
A full range of tin plated copper main and vertical buses are available with short
circuit bracing of 22 kA, 42 kA, 65 kA and 100 kA.
Removable buffer plates allow fast and easy modification of existing spaces to
suit different sizes of starter units. Wide and deep wireways are designed to
facilitate control and power cable routing while being completely isolated from
the main busway.
SIRIUS Contactors
SIRIUS high-performance contactors offer a high degree of protection while
offering reduced mounting space. Ratings up to 600 hp at 600 V are covered
by only 7 sizes; auxiliary contact blocks and coil surge suppressors are within
the envelope dimensions of the contactors.
The SIRIUS contactors are rated to meet both horsepower and NEMA requirements.
The operating reliability of the SIRIUS contactors is especially high. With the
ability to achieve 10 million operations, they have an extremely long service
life, require little maintenance and are rugged.
Along with having a long service life, SIRIUS contactors rated above 100 hp are
also available with remaining life-time indicators for contact wear monitoring.
SIRIUS Overload Relays
The heart of every Siemens motor control center is the world-renowned SIRIUS
3RU or 3RB overload relay.
Siemens electronic 3RB overload relay is now a standard in our EEMAC size 5 & 6
starter units offering the latest technology in the protection of sensitive motor loads.
The SIRIUS 3RB self-supplying electronic overload relays are designed for the current
dependent protection of loads with normal and heavy starting (tripping classes
10 and 20) against impermissible overheating. The 3RB overload has a 4:1 current
setting range allowing use of one overload over multiple motor load applications.
The SIRIUS 3RU type of thermal bimetal overload relays installed in our smaller
starter units also include as a standard feature, phase unbalance protection, class
10 tripping characteristics, manual and automatic reset and visual trip indication.
Heater elements are factory sealed and calibrated for the most accurate motor
protection package available today.
Instantaneous Trip Circuit Breakers
The high interrupting capacity ETI breakers offer today’s solution to circuit breaker
trip coordination for maximum motor load protection. Available in a wide range
of trip ratings, each circuit interrupter can easily be adjusted to provide optimum
protection from damaging fault currents. Refined manufacturing and design
techniques allow this motor protector to safely interrupt high-level fault currents
while protecting downstream control devices. A built-in Push-To-Trip feature
permits easy testing of the unit and all additional auxiliary devices. Sensitive
ground fault detection can be field mounted to add a flexibility rarely seen on
this type of device.
Handle Mechanism
The vertical motion, unit-mounted, operating handle is adaptable to both the
breaker and the visible blade switch type of disconnecting device. The smooth
and positive motion of the mechanism ensures correct position indication of
the disconnect device even with the door opened. Mechanical interlocks
prevent the opening of the unit door if the handle is in the ON position.
However, a defeater mechanism can be used by trained personnel to bypass
the door interlock by turning a screw located to the right of the operator.
With the unit door opened, the new interlock mechanism prevents accidental
withdrawal or insertion of the starter unit if the handle mechanism is in the
ON position.
To ensure that the starter units are not accidentally energized, a padlocking
provision is provided, allowing up to 3 padlocks to be used at the same time
when the handle is in the OFF position.
Visible Blade Switch
For operation where a visible means of disconnect status is required, Siemens
offers its line of field proven FK switches. A positive quick-break and quick-make
device ensures dependable operation in the most rigorous environments.
Together with standard anti-single-phasing protection built in each of our
3RB overload relays, the FK switch offers a maximum of protection whenever
essential motor loads are at stake. Whether HRC I-J, II-C or RHS current limiting
fuses are used, there are no realistic short-circuit levels this disconnect device
cannot handle. To complete the package these switches include provision for
auxiliary position switches as a standard.
